This function may allocate space using malloc (via xgetcwd) or leave a file descriptor open; use free_cwd to perform the necessary free or close. Upon failure, no memory is allocated, any locally opened file descriptors are closed; return non-zero -- in that case, free_cwd need not be called, but doing so is ok. Otherwise, return zero. The `raison d'etre' for this interface is that the working directory is sometimes inaccessible, and getcwd is not robust or as efficient. So, we prefer to use the open/fchdir approach, but fall back on getcwd if necessary. Some systems lack fchdir altogether: e.g., OS/2, pre-2001 Cygwin, SCO Xenix. Also, SunOS 4 and Irix 5.3 provide the function, yet it doesn't work for partitions on which auditing is enabled. If you're still using an obsolete system with these problems, please send email to the maintainer of this code. */int
